Everyone is afraid of a constitutional convention, but with the republicans holding so many upper and lower chambers in the states, plus all the governorships if we could just get the two amendments that need passing put through it would bypass all of this drama from Washington.
3/4 of the states MIGHT vote for a BBA and legislative term limits so desperately needed, but right now there is no way anything really drastic could muster 3/4 votes from all the states to get something stupid like 2nd A. rescinded.
The state governments are the ones taking it on the chin as Washington keeps slowly draining them of their rightful legislative duties. Getting them together now during the current strife and bitch-slapping both entrenched party heavyweights upside the head by doing an end-around, especially going right past Obama while thumbing their nose at him also, is looking like it might be an answer who’s time has come.
(The states have the right to amend the constitution themselves, after last election and how many chambers went over to the red if we are ever going to try it, and our nation truly needs it, it might as well be now while its safer)
Do you want to loose the Bill of rights? Namely the 2nd and 1st Ammendment?
If you do, have a constituional convention. Don’t be silly.
